Here is a link to some plans a few months ago. You can get four out of one sheet of plywood. I made some they work great. Good luck.

You use Lemongrass oil. You can find it on-line or at health food stores in the essential oils. Some say lemon pledge works, but I have issues using other chemicals around my bees.

Welcome to beesource.

You are in a excellent location for honey. That whole area is good as long as you stay away from the watermellons in Thompson.

Have a great season
